Microcerberus (Crustacea isopoda microcerberidea) from the indian ocean

Abstract

Microcerberus anfindicus n.sp., discovered on opposite coasts of the West Indian Ocean, has a pleopod II cf very similar to that of other Indian Ocean forms, particularly Microcerberus sp. Enckell, 1970. We have given this species the name of M. enckelli n.sp. as, in our opinion, it does not appear to be an aberrant form of M. singhalensis Enckell, 1970. © 1978 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
